Small Victory

She is wearing a bright orange sweater and black slacks.
She makes some sort of comment about how my brown leather shoes don't match my khaki slacks and light blue shirt.
"Did Halloween come a little early this year?" I ask.
(Side note: holiday dress on normal days is usual fare for this woman. She has a pair of red crocs dotted with snowmen that she wears regularly. In July.)
A few minutes later she is at the snack island. She asks me if I would like a piece of candy.
I say Sure.
"What's the magic word?" she says, dangling the chocolate in front of me.
"Trick or Treat?" I ask.
